Air Cond odor
This spring when I turned on my AC I had a strong "pond "odor coming from
the vents. In the week the AC has been on the odor has weakened but it is still there. I went under the house and couldn't find any wet or broken supply or return lines. I have a package unit that is also my gas furnace. The unit is located outside. I am thinking that there is a mold growing on the evaporator coils or lying in the collection tray that is activated when it got wet. I didn't have the odor during the winter when the heat was running. I believe if I spray the evap coil and collection tray with a diluted bleach/water solution it will cure the problem. I know it will smell like bleach for a while but I can handle that better than "pond". I'd like to hear what the group thinks about this plan and if there are any other ideas out there. Is there something else I could spray on the coils, like a Lysol product? Thanks JD Chesapeake, VA |
